I Hate You - Don't Leave Me: Third Edition: Understanding the Borderline Personality

Description

The revised and expanded third edition of the bestselling guide to understanding borderline personality disorder―with advice for communicating with and helping the borderline individuals in your li Review: Great read - Just prepare to learn things you did not know or expect. Very insightful and opens your eyes. Review: Borderline Society! How current culture and practices affect our mental health. - I bought this at the suggestion of Prof.Dr. Anil Kumar of "Manasa", the Head of Psychiatry at Ernakulam Medical College. This is a great book, and apart form seeing the Borderline Personality as an individual issue, the authors have highlighted it as a societal issue in Chapter 4, titled "The Borderline Society", explaining how our current culture and practices and outlook along with expectations can affect our mental health in a negative way and can make us sick. It explains how child abuse, increasing divorces, the frequent moves associated with work or otherwise, and the permissive child-rearing practices are creating a society with more individuals who are sick and can limit the "progress". Highly recommended for the lay person and professionals!
